Shontaya Smedley on Ballet

"Artistic, passionate, demanding, challenging, expressive"
-Shontaya Smedley, Finalist in The Sydney Eisteddfod Ballet Scholarship for 2018

"When I was young I used to watch my older sister dance ballet and I decided I wanted to follow in her footsteps. I immediately fell in love with this art form, particularly the freedom, grace and joy shown while performing, but also having the discipline, dedication and technically demanding side during rehearsal."
